An anti-abortion group has targeted Planned Parenthood for allegedly promoting sex selection through abortions. Live Action released the first in a series of videos on Tuesday that they say show Planned Parenthood has encouraged abortions of girls. The activist group sent a series of pregnant women to pose as patients to Planned Parenthood clinics across the country indicating they would have an abortion if the baby turned out to be a girl. Planned Parenthood said the staffer in the video “did not follow our protocol” in the “highly unusual patient scenario.” Live Action said it will release more videos in the series, called “Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America.”
